RTS 5101-E (English) Door Card

An RTS door card can be placed on a hospital room door to subtly alert staff that a death has occurred. The image of the leaf and teardrop serves as a visual reminder of the need for sensitivity when entering the room. The Fallen Leaf poem is printed on the back. This card can also be offered to families as a keepsake. The card measures 4 x6.

The meaning of the leaf and teardrop
The leaf and teardrop image symbolizes the love and grief that families and loved ones feel when someone dies. In grief, as in nature, there are cycles and movement. As seasons change, so do feelings. There is winter and spring, sadness and hope.
